Santa Fe is a cool town. Lots to do here and lots of good beer and food. Big fan!
Briefly looked at there for retirement, well outside of town a bit. Visited our son and girlfriend several years back but man was it dry. Affected us within a day or two. Son's girlfriend was suffering so they ended up on the Oregon coast.

Yeah, the older I get the more I'm bothered by climate. Dry? Nope. Cold/snow? Nope. High humidity? Nope. Can't do any of those.
I'm good where I am, but it comes at a cost for sure.
 
Just back from a trip to Florida and I need a beer. Black Rocks brewery, Barbaric Yawp, sooooo good after a long day. Good flight, just a drag of a day.

Didn't find any barrel aged beers but I wasn't traveling about everywhere looking.

Had a few good ones on trip though.

Continuing with my trend of stronger beers as the temperature drops. Today I'm enjoying a nice 7.7% Weihenstephaner Weizenbock.

Damn, I had no idea they looked like that! I just sorta assumed hey were bigger dunkleweizens, shivered, and left it at that.

You've got me thinking. That could be an excellent February beer.

Thank you, sir!

My absolute pleasure.
I'd certainly recommend giving it a try. I've only had a few up until now, but I'm definitively a fan.
Might work well as a February beer, one could argue you could try it even sooner though. ;)

P.S. Nice avatar.
 
PakaPramen Beer, a Czech favorite, brewed by Nova Paka Brewing, Czech Republic. PakaPramen comes in at a bashful 4% ABV. Advertised as a traditional Czech beer, I’m not going as far as a Pils, but it certainly is hoppier than a Helles. This beer uses Saaz hops, I’m picking up a slight spiciness to the hop presentation here. Fizzier than usual, great lacing in the glass.

Not to be the ever present beer nag, but again, I’m picking up some skunking on this beer. I’d call this one a quarter-skunker. I know you brewers want to make the home team proud, but much of your noble efforts are being wasted by the clunks in the supply chain.

So once again, I’ll make the plea, please package this in cans or in very dark (Ayinger-dark) glass bottles. There’s just too much UV hitting the beer in this light brown glass by the time it reaches us parched beer drinkers in sun-roasted Cali. Takes away all the fun, Dudes!

Preach it, brother! Preach!!!!

As someone that worked his way through college in the supply chain by working on a beer truck, you have no idea how corrupt and inefficient the supply chain is.

I don't know how many times I uttered the phrase, "Seriously, is that legal?"
